Thank you for all the updates as usual. Saves me from thanking for each post.

I posted stuff in Taylor thread by accident if a mod can move them.  Leonard will not start on pup and passed his physical.

 

Goodness.  He passed the team’s physical, but he’s not “cleared for contact.”  He won’t play a snap in a real game this season.  JMO … laugh if you like.

They are going to work him into full contact. If you look above you should see the entire quote. Remember he hasn’t played much football in a year and a half. Not bring on pup is very good news.

Don’t disagree.  Just don’t think he’s going to play competitively - ever again.  We’ve seen this story before.

I have a signed Darius Leonard helmet.  I hope he does play again.  Just not counting on it.

I'd say the odds are against Shaq playing like Darius ever again. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

My schedule got adjusted for tomorrow morning. So glad I will be done before practice starts.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Will post the pressers here in a minute. I have a feeling after listening to MPJ presser he is going to be a captain this year.

Welcome back everyone! Surprised no one asked Ballard about the lack of veteran presence in the cornerback room

[sb41champs]

Hallelujah - the boys are back in town!!

 

Off-season is officially over!!

 

I think they should have made this a "state wide holiday"!!

They did. He said the Rogers thing didn’t change anything and there was a reason they drafted 3 CB.

Thats interesting (about drafting 3.)  Ballard seems to be ahead of the game again (like when he drafted Taylor).

Oh I see, I only caught the Rosgers comment.  Guess it will be birth by fire for our young guys this year.

I’m guessing he’s talking about Luck.

Completely different scenarios if that's what he was talking about

I have the same gut feeling that you do. That said, only time will reveal if we are both wrong or right. Just gonna let it ride

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This crazy. Maybe he isn’t ready but the running said maybe exaggerating injuries is how they would make a point.

 

 

[CR91]

Taylor being on the PUP list is interesting, but I'm not concerned. Shaq not being on there is a great sign.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is contract related with Taylor and it is kind of crappy. He isn’t on the franchise tag so this is just wrong.

It’s clearly a hold out  out situation.

He's holding in. I had a feeling this morning that he might do this.

It’s just weird. I can understand if he was having to play on the franchise tag.

I will support Taylor and all runningbacks on this matter.  Especially Taylor, he's done nothing but came in and put his head down and worked with no complaints ever.  I don't see it as just paying him as a runningback, but also as one of the leaders of this team.  I'm disappointed in all of the fans that have turned on him so easily and said nasty things about him.  Gives me that post Andrew Luck retirement vibe.

The tag status doesn't matter. He's eligible for an extension, and is trying to leverage his way into getting one. Or at least make a point.

 

Or maybe he just didn't pass the physical yet. But I think it's a calculated move. I'm not super concerned about it, yet. If he's hiding from the media and we're not getting any info about it for several days, then it will start to bug me. But it's business, and this stuff happens.

For example??

[CR91]

Are the colts disguising a hold out as PUP?

Ballard did say earlier they were still doing physicals and there might be a couple more players go on pup. So that could be a possibility. But he also could of exaggerated things saying things aren’t quite right yet. I get it. If he gets hurt it hurts his extension and value. So it is the best thing for him. 
 

I think Pittman gets done. Ballard talks about him like he is his favorite son. Unless he purposely wants to wait.

It’s the players. It was discussed  among running backs last week they could exaggerate injuries as a form of holding out.

You seem to be supporting my reply to you in another thread. The guy is a class act and represents the team well in addition to doing his job. He should be paid.

 

Fans have turned against him? Why?
